Hadith 47

the first House Placed for the people is the one at Bakka, Blessed, [3: 96]. Then the Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted remained for as long as He-azwj so Desired. When He‑azwj Wanted to Create the sky, He-azwj Commanded the wind. It struck the oceans until they were with foam. He-azwj Extracted from that wave and the foam, from its midst, smoke shining from without a fire. He-azwj Created the skey from it. He-azwj Made the constellations and the stars to be in it, and stages of the sun and the moon, and Flowed these in the orbits. And the sky was green based upon the colour of the fresh green water, and the earth was green based upon the colour of the water, and these were joined upon. There were not gateways for them, and the gates cannot happen to be for the earth, and it is the vegetation, and the sky had not rained upon it. So, it grew (vegetation). He-azwj Split the sky with the rain and Split the earth with the vegetation. And that is His‑azwj Word: Or do they not see, those who are committing Kufr, that the skies and the earth were joined up, and We Separated them? [21: 30]’. Al-Abrsh said, ‘By Allah-azwj! No one has narrated to me with the likes of this Hadeeth, at all! Repeat it to me’. He-asws repeated it to him, and Al-Abrash was an atheist. He said, ‘And I testify that you-asws are a son-asws of a Prophet-saww’ – three times’’. [51]
And from him (Ali Bin Ibrahim): ‘(Surah) Yunus-as – Surely, your Lord is Allah, Who Created the skies and the earth in six days, [10: 3]. He said, ‘In six timings’. then Established upon the Throne, [10: 3] – i. e. On top upon the Throne’’. [52] (opinion)
